I'm very much an Enlightenment kind of guy.

When you consider the magnitude of how many people use Wikipedia globally, there is a potential here for really creating some noise and getting some attention in the U.S.

If I had some information, the last thing I would ever do with it is send it to Wikileaks.

There's plenty of rude stuff online. People say things online that they would be ashamed to say face to face. If people could treat others as though they were speaking face to face, that would be huge.

My original concept was to provide a free encyclopedia for every single person in the world.

Almost anything is better than three network TV outlets completely controlling the national discourse with their nightly broadcasts. We've moved a long way from that, and that's important.

The real struggle is not between the right and the left but between the party of the thoughtful and the party of the jerks.
